- 1 cup yogurt
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder

Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, ginger paste, lemon juice, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt to make the marinade.
- Add the lamb pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to marinate.
- Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. If using skewers, thread the marinated lamb pieces onto skewers.
